Crucial First Steps: What to Do Immediately After a Storm

Before you call, ensure everyone is safe. Here are the immediate, critical actions to take:

  • Check for Safety: Do not approach downed trees, especially near power lines. Assume any downed line is energized.
  • Document Damage: Take clear photos and videos of all damage to the trees, property, and surrounding area for your insurance claim.
  • File Claims: Contact your insurance carrier as soon as possible to start the claims process.
  • Call the Experts: Call Bushor’s first for hazardous tree assessment and removal. Do not attempt to climb or cut large, broken branches yourself.

Professional Services We Offer After Jacksonville Storms

1. 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal & Hazardous Situations

When a massive oak has fallen onto your roof, or a leaning tree poses an immediate threat, immediate action is required. Our crews are on call 24/7 for emergency tree services, equipped with specialized heavy machinery (cranes, grapple trucks, bucket trucks) for safe, quick extraction of dangerous trees and limbs. Our priority is mitigating further property damage and restoring safety immediately.

2. Complete Debris & Storm Cleanup Hauling

Hurricanes and tropical storms leave behind a colossal mess of scattered branches, splintered wood, and foliage. We handle the entire cleanup process—from cutting up massive logs to clearing small debris. We ensure your entire yard, driveway, and surrounding areas are clear, safe, and completely hauled away so you can focus on rebuilding.

3. Tree Structure Stabilization & Preservation

Not every damaged tree is a lost cause. Our ISA Certified Arborists specialize in expert assessment. We apply advanced techniques like cabling, bracing, and surgical pruning to stabilize weakened trees, save mature specimens, and drastically reduce the risk of future branch failure, preserving the value and beauty of your landscape.

4. Full Stump Grinding & Root System Removal

Uprooted or snapped trees leave behind dangerous and unsightly stumps and root systems. Our high-powered stump grinding service removes the remnants completely, restoring your land’s grade. This process eliminates trip hazards, prevents regrowth, and prepares the area for immediate replanting or repair work.

5. Insurance & Permitting Services

Navigating insurance paperwork and local tree removal permits in Jacksonville during a crisis is confusing and time-consuming. We provide full assistance with documentation, filing, and processing necessary permits for tree removal, ensuring your cleanup is compliant and speeding up your entire recovery timeline.

How Bushor’s Tree Surgeons Storm Response Works: Your Path to Recovery

When you contact Bushor’s Tree Surgeons after severe weather, your recovery process begins with three clear, efficient steps:

1. Rapid, Professional Damage Assessment

Our first step is to send a certified professional to assess your specific storm damage. We thoroughly inspect all fallen trees, broken limbs, and structural risks. Our immediate priority is identifying all safety hazards, including unstable trees and debris near your home, business, or vital utility lines. This focused inspection ensures we address the most dangerous issues first.

2. Clear, Upfront Action Plan & Estimate

Once the damage is understood, we develop a clear, precise action plan. Our arborist will explain the scope of work—detailing which trees can be safely saved through trimming or stabilization and which require removal. A written estimate is provided immediately, which you can easily share with your insurance company. Our transparent process ensures you are fully informed and comfortable before any work begins.

3. Safe, Complete Cleanup and Restoration

Our experienced crews arrive equipped with specialized heavy machinery, including cranes, bucket trucks, wood chippers, and stump grinders, to execute the plan efficiently. We safely remove hazardous trees, perform necessary trimming, and clear all debris from your property. The job isn’t finished until the site is thoroughly cleaned and your yard is left safe, functional, and ready for you to use. We treat your property with the utmost care, respecting both your landscape and your time.

Local Storm Damage Challenges in Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s coastal climate creates unique challenges for trees and property owners. The region experiences hurricanes, tropical storms, and summer thunderstorms that bring heavy rain and strong winds. Saturated soil makes it easier for large trees, especially live oaks and pines, to uproot. High winds break branches and send them crashing into homes and vehicles. Salt spray near the coast weakens trees, making them more vulnerable to storm damage. Local regulations require permits for removing healthy trees, but hazardous and storm-damaged trees often qualify for emergency removal. Our team stays up to date on city rules and can guide you through the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond after a storm?

We provide 24/7 emergency service. In most cases, our crews arrive within hours of your call, depending on road conditions and demand after major storms.

Do I need a permit to remove a storm-damaged tree in Jacksonville?

Permits may be required for healthy trees, but hazardous or fallen trees can usually be removed right away. We handle permits when necessary to save you time.

Can you work with my insurance company?

Yes. We provide written estimates, detailed invoices, and photos if needed. These documents help support your insurance claim for storm damage repairs.

What happens if a tree is leaning but not fallen?

We inspect the roots and structure. If the tree is unsafe, we remove it. If it can be saved, we may stabilize it with trimming, cabling, or bracing.

Do you handle power line hazards?

We do not cut trees that are entangled with live power lines, but we coordinate with the utility company to make the site safe so removal can proceed.

Will you haul away storm debris?

Yes. Our crews haul away all limbs, logs, and debris unless you request otherwise. We leave your yard clean and safe.

Can you save a damaged palm tree?

Often, yes. Our palm specialist can trim damaged fronds and treat the tree to encourage recovery. However, severely split palms may need removal.
